South Playground Revitalization

Yarmouth Town Council recently approved funding in the amount of $80,000 for the revitalization of the South End Playground. This park is heavily used by youth and families in the area, but is in need of repairs and upgrades as vandalism and age have taken a toll in recent years. Work will get underway soon to remove two buildings that have been deemed unsafe and no longer practical for use. The buildings are set to be demolished soon to clear the way for new community spaces and structures that will better serve users of the park.

We Want Your Input!

The best way to make sure the money is put to best use is to talk with the people who use the park the most. We want to hear YOUR ideas and what you think the park needs. We want to revitalize the park to work for YOU!

How Will We Get Your Input?

A community meeting will be held on Wednesday, August 21st at 6:30 pm at South Church, 20 Forbes Street (old South Centennial School). We invite everyone to come and discuss the future of the playground. The meeting is open to the public, providing a chance for community members of all ages to share their ideas. What we hear from this session will be used to help with the redesign and makeover of the park. We need a BIG turnout, and especially need local youth to join us. We want the changes to work for you, so come and tell us what you think!
